Crank Pin and Connecting Rod Bearings
D Inspect crank pin for uneven wear or damage. Measure crank
pin for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If crank pin is
damaged, or out-of-round or taper is out of limit, replace crank-
shaft or regrind crank pin to undersize and use undersize bear-
ing.

D Rod bearing:
Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or flaking
and observe contact pattern. Bearing shells found in defective
condition must be replaced.
Two kinds of rod bearing are available; standard size bearing
and 0.25 mm undersize bearing. To distinguish them,
0.25 mm undersize bearing has the stamped number (US025)
on its backside as indicated in figure, but standard size one has
no number.
D Rod bearing clearance;
1) Before checking bearing clearance, clean bearing and crank
pin.
2) Install bearing in connecting rod and bearing cap.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic to full width of crank-pin as
contacted by bearing (parallel to crankshaft), avoiding oil
hole.
4) Install rod bearing cap to connecting rod.
When installing cap, be sure to point arrow mark on cap to
crankshaft pulley side, as shown in figure. After applying engine
oil to rod bolts, tighten cap nuts to specified torque. DO NOT
turn crankshaft with gaging plastic installed.
